Abstract

Smartphone recycling is a heated topic recently because of environmental and economical concerns. However, the limited recognition ability of naked eyes to find defects on phones impedes further growth of the second-hand markets. Related work for this problem focuses on detection and feature extraction, which can be tough because of the thin shapes of the defects and similar characteristics obstructing discrimination between scratches and cracks.

In this paper, we propose an algorithm using semantic segmentation based on HRNet to build an effective model to evaluate defects of screens quickly and precisely. We improve the performance of the model by introducing the Lovász-Softmax loss function and data augmentation. Peripheral methods including subdivision and postprocessing are proposed to reduce misprediction on small scratches and enforce reliability in practice. We compare our model with other networks on mIoU and Kappa scores, concluding on an empirical basis.
